I don't see a problem with it. Personally, if my new purchase was ragged like f**k before I got it I'd want to know so maybe get rid of it ASAP if I was at all doubtfull.

 

[Nick r26r]

what difference does it make whether its been ragged or not , as long as it is still running sweet !!! keep a car serviced well with good bits and you can rag the shhhiiit out of them, all my cars get ragged but they also get the best service bits for them and serviced every 5-8k miles , and they always run sweet

 

[Whiteley]

Driven hard yes, but Dave knows his cars too.

 

[danjf]

£2800 for that seems a really good deal to me

 

[Christopher]

Put the toys away. Don't be so retarded.

It's been looked after, no doubt.

What's the issue?

 

[Bluebeard]

Because its had a new gearbox??

 

[the_prophet]

mine had one before i bought it, car was given some stick on the test drive by previous owner, i saw how it had been driven, but also how well it had been looked after. didnt bother me in the slightest and its been as reliable as any of my other cars in the two years ive had it.

no big deal.

 

[Bluebeard]

Cars can be driven on the limit every day and still last well over 100,000 miles.

The part most people seem to forget is the looking after it bit.

Lol, who doesn't give their RS's a thrashing on a regular basis. As above, as long as it's looked after... The problems begin when people get them that can't afford to run them correctly.
A bit like most old scooby's etc.

 

[the_prophet]

cant afford or cant be arsed.

Agree^^

You can't expect to buy a clio sport used that hasn't been driven hard a fair few times, especially an 8 year old one.

 

[Christopher]

Exactly.

Quit whinging.

 

[robo_#1]

As people have put here, if the driver drove it hard because they enjoy and respect the car, then chances are they did a good job of keeping it serviced etc. whereas if they're just a moron who kill there car all day and doesnt look after it thats when the problems start. Most of the people I know HAMMER their cars. but come service time they dont complain, they pay up...

 

[DMS]

I absolutely nail my car day in day out. And yet I know two or three people who would buy it off me straight away given the chance.
Looking after a car goes a long way to making it an appealing buy regardless of how it's been driven.
Would you refuse to buy a high powered motorbike just because the previous owner took it quite high up in the rev range on a regular basis?

what he said

but the reaction to what chris said doesnt suprise me for CS

 

[Budgie]

If it was a bad example, those stickers would have been removed straight away, to avoid any comeback!

 

[Andyman]

LOL @ the replys.

Car thats been ragged to death or one thats been treated with kid gloves, which would you choose?

Easy answer really isnt it.....

 

[alex-avfc]

Most RS Clio's have been driven hard at some point, you've gotta expect that when you buy one second hand.

Look at that thread, it shows the guy had no issues with spending the money on it. Maintenance is the key.

 

[Triki]

Looks alright, just sounds like it may still need an Aux belt ?

 

[5parky]

looks fine to me..

 

[THE SKULL]

Think every car has the acc pedal fault, dont know anything about that sensor fault but its probably worth cleaning it up and its connections before changing it.

 

[not normal dan]

looks clean mate looks like he got a good deal

 

[THE SKULL]

just found out that my mate (paul costa,a car dealer) bought the car of snel (?) in york?

Hi.


there was an issue with the throttle pedal. i bought a new one and it didnt solve the problems. so i change the thottle body and put the original pedal back on. problem solved.

also does it even have that sensor as it doesn't have the acoustiv valve!

and i did get the aux belt done.

just found out that my mate (paul costa,a car dealer) bought the car of snel (?) in york?

i didnt sell it to a guy called paul or for that amount of money, the kid who bought it was from york though.

does the exhaust still rattle?

 

[THE SKULL]

nephew was here today,all dash warning lights went off yesterday,and yes it still rattles

 

[Harry_manback]

there wasnt any lights on the dashboard when i sold it.

as for getting my name, didnt the kid who bought it off me register it as his own?

 

[Anonymous]

Who's got this now? I'm supposed to be px'ing it for my bike tomorrow..............any info much appreciated!!

Thanks

 

[andyclio172]

I think you paid a good price for the vehicle and as long as it is in good well cared for condition and you are happy with it just enjoy the car.

 

[Sipha]

Very good price imo. Easily worth 3k+
